Napa Valley's most decadent winter weekend returns January 15-18, 2027. The Napa Truffle Festival celebrates the prized Périgord black truffle, known as the "black diamond," with four days of cooking demos, wine-paired feasts, hands-on learning and the much-loved truffle dogs. Michelin-starred and master chefs from California and Georgia to Italy join festival co-host Chef Ken Frank of La Toque to show what American-grown truffles can do. Because they're harvested in Napa and Sonoma, they arrive fresher and more aromatic than anything flown in from Europe. Whether you're a dedicated truffle lover or simply curious about one of the world's most exclusive ingredients, there's an experience waiting for you. You can book an intimate chef's dinner or simply wander the free Marketplace at Oxbow Public Market and take home a truffle of your own.
